Hi, this bug also affects me with my HP 8510w. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with the following kernel (see below for the "uname -a" output). This bug has been affecting me for the last several months, but I do not know exactly when it started. I suppose it started after one of those software updates, which I do almost everyday.
I really like to have this bug solved somehow! The main reason is that I am often accessing my laptop remotely with wake-on-lan. If I mistakenly type "sudo reboot" (which I remember not to, these days) then my laptop is no longer accessible from a remote location due to this bug, which makes it hang indefinitely at the BIOS prompt! For this reason, I would call this a very severe bug. In my more than 15 years of using Linux, this is the first time I experience this particular bug, and very disappointingly, it seems very hard to fix, based on what I can search and find on the internet. # uname -a Linux xyz 3.2.0-37-generic-pae #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 24 15:51:02 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295512 Title: Hot reboot freeze on HP 8510w - Ubuntu 8.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/295512/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
